An offer Posh can't refuse

Is nothing sacred? Is everything now simply ammunition for the marketeers? Even Posh Spice's hair? More seriously, if you've used your hair and your husband's for a decade of marketing, do you have the right to complain if someone else has a go? And which of the tabloids will run this as a news story tomorrow?

Dear Oliver,

A staggering one in three women suffer with hair loss at some point in their lives, which should make it no surprise that recent images suggest Posh Spice is experiencing her very own hair loss issues. Victoria was out in Central London last night, promoting her new clothing range, and no amount of clever styling was enough to cover the bald spots.

The famous WAG is suspected to be suffering from 'traction alopecia', a condition often brought on by the use of hair extensions or weaves. Hair loss can take a variety of forms and amongst other common causes are poor diet, stress, pregnancy and childbirth. Victoria, a mum of three, reportedly sticks to a strict diet and no doubt her recent move to L.A. was very stressful.

For many sufferers, losing their hair also leads to loss of confidence. According to a recent poll two thirds of British women (73 per cent) admitted the appearance of their hair affected their self image*. Victoria is said to be desperate for her short do to grow out as when she first met David she had sexy shoulder length locks.

Victoria may wish to consider taking a protein rich hair supplement to keep her hair in good health. Viviscal is the latest advance in protein rich hair loss treatments and contains the optimum level of nutrients to nourish the hair follicles naturally from within, helping to reduce hair loss and promote existing hair growth.

I include below further information about the Viviscal range. Please note expert comment and case studies available on request. If you would like to receive a sample or pack shot please do not hesitate to contact my colleague Marlon.

All the best,

Lara
